The Food Pursuit
0
Much of my time spent on travels involves walking around neighborhoods to observe and eat. Today’s post is a little different. I want to show you some of the things I saw walking around the Shibuya and Ikebukuro area of Tokyo. They are a collection of things I found fascinating, fun, awesome, hilarious, or memorable. And perhaps you’ll enjoy reviewing these as much as I enjoyed discovering them.
You may know Cheung Chau as one of Hong Kong’s many islands. Every year, the island hosts the Bun Festival which, as part of tradition, people climb this ginormous bun tower and race to grab as many buns as possible. Aside from that, there are parades that march throughout the island. It’s definitely one of the busiest days for restaurants that grabbing a seat to eat somewhere is harder than finding parking at Pacific Mall. My trip to Hong Kong coincided with the annual Chueng Chau Bun Festival so I braced myself for large crowds to see what it was all about. And of course, to see what there is to eat!
Beginning tomorrow, Harbourfront will be hosting this year’s Fortune Cooking Food Festival. I thought I’d make a little post to highlight some of the things worth checking out at this fun-filled, 3-day event.
This past weekend I attended Taste of the Danforth. Toronto is home to one of the largest Greek communities outside of Greece. Every August, Greektown would host this food and culture festival that would shut down a section of Danforth Avenue for 3 days. Vendors line up the streets with their spits and grills and cook away to feed a large hungry crowd. There’s barely no place to move within this thick flock and with line ups everywhere, patience is gold!
